TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF


UNSECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES


 


Due the 31st Day of December, 2014


 







Section 1.     Note Denominations.  The Convertible Notes are issuable in denominations of one thousand dollars (USD$1,000) and integral multiples thereof only.  Upon conversion of a portion, but less than all, of a Convertible Note in accordance with the terms hereof, a new note or notes may be issued to the Holder in a denomination equal to the exact amount of the unconverted portion of the Convertible Note.


 


Section 2.     Interest.  The Convertible Notes are subject to penalty interest under certain circumstances. The amount of interest payable, if any, for any payment period shall be reduced proportionately in the event the Convertible Note shall not be outstanding for the entire payment period.


 


Whenever any interest or fee under this Convertible Note is calculated using a rate based on a year of 365 days, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on a year of 365 days, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by 365. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest or fee calculation under this Convertible Note, and the rates of interest stipulated in this Convertible Note are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.


 


Under no circumstances shall the Holder be entitled to receive nor shall it in fact receive a payment or partial payment of interest, fees or other amounts under or in relation to this Note at a rate that is prohibited by applicable law. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything herein or elsewhere contained, if and to the extent that under any circumstances, the effective annual rate of interest received or to be received by a Holder (determined in accordance with such section) pursuant to this Convertible Note or any agreement or arrangement collateral hereto entered into in consequence or implementation hereof would, but for this Section 2, be a rate that is prohibited by applicable law, then the effective annual rate of interest, as so determined, received or to be received by the Holder shall be, and be deemed to be, adjusted to a rate that is one whole percentage point less than the highest effective annual rate of interest that is so prohibited (the “adjusted rate”); and, if the Holder has received a payment or partial payment which would, but for this Section 2, be so prohibited, then any amount or amounts received in excess of the annual rate that is so prohibited shall and shall be deemed to have comprised a credit to be applied to subsequent payments on account of interest, fees or other amounts due to the Holder at the adjusted rate.


 


           Section 3.     Conversion.   The Corporation shall use its best efforts, make such applications, and pursue such actions as may be required to augment, or replace its current trading status on the Over the Counter Marketplace (OTCQB) with eligible trading status on the Canadian TSX-V or other more senior stock exchange. In that connection, the Corporation anticipates pursuing an initial public offering of its Common Stock on that alternative exchange (the “Planned IPO”). The Holder of a Convertible Note shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):


 


a.           Right to Convert; Conversion Price.  The record Holder of a Convertible Note shall be entitled, in connection with and at the time of the Planned IPO, to convert all or any portion of the Convertible Note to in previously unissued common shares of the Corporation, as presently constituted (“Common Shares”) at a 10% discount to the per share offering price in the Planned IPO. For clarity, the Holder may convert all or any portion of the Convertible Note into that number of Common Shares as shall be equal to the Principal Amount converted, divided by the per share offering price for the Planned IPO multiplied by 90% (the “Conversion Price”). This right to convert shall continue until Midnight, Central time on the Maturity Date (the “Time of Expiry”).

       b.           Mechanics of Conversion.  In order to convert the Convertible Notes into Shares, the Holder shall deliver a copy of the fully executed notice of conversion in the form on the rear of the certificate evidencing the Convertible Note (“Notice of Conversion”) to the Corporation at the office of the Corporation which notice shall specify the amount of the Convertible Note to be converted (together with a copy of the first page of each Convertible Note to be converted) prior to Midnight, Central time (the “Conversion Notice”) on the date of Conversion specified on the Notice of Conversion and (ii) surrender the original Convertible Note(s); provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the Shares issuable upon such conversion unless either the original Convertible Notes are delivered to the Corporation as provided above, or the Holder notifies the Corporation that such Convertible Note(s) have been lost, stolen or destroyed.  In the case of a dispute as the calculation of the Conversion Price, the Corporation’s calculation shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest error.


 


(i)           Lost or Stolen Notes.  Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Convertible Note, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, and upon surrender and cancellation of the Convertible Note, if mutilated, the Corporation shall execute and deliver new Convertible Note(s) of like tenor and date.


 


(ii)           Delivery of Shares upon Conversion.  The Corporation shall issue and use its best efforts to deliver within a reasonable time after delivery to the Corporation of a Convertible Note and Notice of Conversion, or after provision for security or indemnification required by (i) above, to such Holder of the Convertible Note at the address of the Holder on the books of the Corporation, a certificate for the number of Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled as aforesaid.


 


(iii)           No Fractional Shares.  No fractional Shares shall be issued upon conversion of a Convertible Note.  If any conversion of the Convertible Note would create a fractional Share or a right to acquire a fractional Share, a cash adjustment will be made for the fractional interest.


 


(iv)           Date of Conversion.  The date of which conversion occurs (the “Date of Conversion”) shall be deemed to be the date set forth in such Notice of Conversion, provided that the copy of the Notice of Conversion is delivered or faxed to the Corporation before midnight, Central time, on the Date of Conversion, and (ii) that the original Convertible Notes to be converted are surrendered, and received by the Corporation within five business days from the Date of Conversion.  The person or persons entitled to receive the Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Shares on such date.  If the original Convertible Notes to be converted are not received by the Corporation within five business days after the Date of Conversion, the Notice of Conversion, at the Corporation’s option, may be declared null and void.


 


c.           Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion.  The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Convertible Notes, such number of its Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Convertible Notes; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Convertible Notes, the Corporation will immediately take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.


 


d.           Adjustment to Conversion Price.


 


(i) Adjustment Due to Stock Split, Stock Dividend, Etc.  If at any time when the Convertible Notes are issued and outstanding, the number of outstanding Shares is increased by a stock split, stock dividend, or other similar event, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced, or if the number of outstanding Shares is decreased by a combination or reclassification of shares, or other similar event, the Conversion Price share be proportionately increased.

          (ii) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc.

b.  

	
In the event the Holder does not exercise its Conversion Rights, at the option of the Holder in cash, or the Common Shares of the Corporation at the Maturity Date, at a conversion price equal to the closing market price of the Common Shares on the Closing Date of the Convertible Notes.
